Authenticator Arrives

My Blizzard Authenticator arrived today! I’ve already associated it with my main account and tested it out, and everything looks great. It’s unfortunate that Blizzard isn’t currently able to meet the demand for these keyfobs, but I am very glad to have gotten mine.

Its a cool idea, but it’s foul that we have to pay extra to be “more secure” in a system that should have been secured in the first place. IMHO, they should flit the bill for these things. To me, this is like paying protection money to the same gang that is robbing you if you don’t pay. Capice?

There is no such thing as secure, Messyah. Even with the Authenticator. There is only the ability to make the effort required to break-in greater than the reward.

Second, the biggest flaws in WoW security have nothing to do with Blizzard programming and everything to do with how players handle their account information, buying/selling accounts and gold, and online browsing habits. Bliz isn’t robbing anyone, they’re handing out sawed-off shotguns to those that are worried about the gangs you mentioned.
